The
associate pastor of a San Fernando Valley chapel was
sentenced to 32 months in prison on Tuesday for failing to
register as a sex offender. Paul Henry Ilger, 50, was
sentenced in Superior Court. He pleaded guilty in February and
could have faced 25 years to life in prison.

Judge
Kathryne Ann Stoltz said Ilger "had betrayed that position of
trust. He lied to the congregation."

Ilger, a former
second-grade teacher, was convicted in 1988 of molesting four
students in his San Luis Obispo classroom. After being
released from jail, Ilger and his family moved to Los Angeles,
where he took a position with Hope Chapel of the Valley in
Canoga Park.

The married father was arrested last June
after police discovered he had failed for nearly nine months
to notify them that he had moved. As a sex offender, Ilger is
required under state law to notify local authorities each time
he moves.
